Pond at the Edge of Ützenbusch Forest

Highlight • Lake

The untouched natural paradise is right on the edge of the road. It is probably only visible from the trail in winter. A nice photo stop.

Bridge Over the Federlohmühlenbach

The sun was beckoning, and since a family celebration on Sunday also threatened to leave us with a lot of sedentary time, we quickly headed out into nature on Saturday. The Federlohmühlen North Trail, which we had briefly glimpsed on a partial stage a long time ago, was covered in delicate spring green and very lonely. There was no one …

After the hot days, Sunday was the optimal day for a hike. And as it turned out, this northern trail was particularly suitable. The paths mostly led along the forest, or through it, thus ensuring shade. The highlight of this tour is the tranquil village of Riekenbostel and the Federlohmühlen watermill.

A small section of forest is extremely overgrown with small fir trees. A small detour is necessary.

After finishing my city trip in Hildesheim this morning, I took a break halfway through my walk and set off on another northern trail. This trail can largely be described in one word: nature.

A magnificent landscape, and three-quarters of the way through, I was surprised by the old mill that gave the northern trail its name.

Interesting highlights of this tour are of course the Federlohmühlen water mill, the path along the ponds, the rustic Mühlenbach bridge and the hidden ruins of an oil mill. The town of Riekenbostel is also quite beautiful. Otherwise it is mainly on wide forest paths through coniferous forest, but we enjoy the peace and quiet here, no traffic noise, very …

I was in the area. The weather: excellent. The forest: very big and deep.
I didn't have the right camera for the animals I saw today. For everything else, yes. 14 km without people, but with crane call and goose pull. A wonderful way.
